Re: [g4u-help] Problem with g4u 2.5 reading sata disk with vol groups

[Hubert F. <hu...@fe...>]

Hi,

I can't make any sense out of that error - other than "broken disk".
dmesg output would of course help here.

of course you can always copy to a different local disk (wd2?), assuming the target disk is empty / can be erased,
and that disk access itself works at all...
